Queen Beyoncé reigned supreme with a record-breaking 28 Grammy wins at Sunday night’s (March 14) 63rd staging of the Grammy Awards show.

The 39-year-old Lemonade singer made history at the 2021 Grammy Awards by becoming the most-acclaimed female artiste and singer in Recording Academy history.

After copping four of her nine nominations for the night, Beyoncé surpassed the 27 wins of her predecessor, bluegrass-country singer Alison Krauss, with a total number of 28 Grammy wins.

The new additions to Beyoncé’s haul have now placed her second in line, to the late conductor Georg Solti, for the most Grammy wins alongside revered producer Quincy Jones.

At the start of the night Beyoncé went in with a total of nine nominations, the most of any artiste at the 2021 show, which included nominations for the categories: Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best R&B Performance, Best R&B Song, Best Rap Performance, Best Rap Song, Best Music Video, Best Music Film.

By the end of the night, she had graciously been awarded wins for the categories: Best Music Video for Brown Skin Girl, Best R&B Performance for Black Parade and Best Rap Song and Rap Performance for Savage, her collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion.

In her acceptance speech, while visibly fighting back tears, the songbird paid tribute to the black artistes who continue to inspire the world as well as expressed her feelings of overwhelm and gratitude for being able to witness such a momentous occasion.

“It’s been such a difficult time, so I wanted to uplift, encourage, celebrate all of the beautiful black queens and kings that continue to inspire me and inspire the whole world,” she said.

She furthered, “This is so overwhelming. I’ve been working my whole life — since nine-years-old — and I can’t believe this happened.”
